To be honest, I don't think the klicky in question looks anything like the "black" klickies I've seen; it seems to have the same skin color as many of the "non-white" pirates do. That being said, it's a German toy being critiqued by US sensibilities; there's going to be some disagreement on what is PC or not.

There's another thread about this issue, as it has been posted longer and has more pages let's keep commenting on that one.  :)
